I can't quite believe we reached the 3 year mark since I launched the Kickstarter. In some ways it's been an age, and in some ways it's just flown by!...

New replacement elastic straps!

Elastic straps on any bra are the first to give up the ghost, they literally do all the heavy lifting! Because ours are strips of natural rubber knitted into cotton,...

How long does a bra last?

This is the age old question! A very clever (male) friend asked me, when I launched this bra, if it would start breaking down if someone wore it lying on...

Meet the Maker series - Mandy the miracle elastic maker!

In 2016, when I first started working on The Very Good Bra, sourcing 100% compostable materials was my full time job. Of all the materials, elastic was the toughest. Elastic...

What does the bra look like under a white T Shirt?

This is an oft-asked question! It's mostly asked about Vintage Peach which is more of a neutral, so we did take some shots on our recent shoot, under a white...

Why are our eco undies unique?

There's a lot of eco-undies out there on the market, which is great. It's easier to make undies as they're so simple you can almost make them yourself, not like bras...

All about the V for Victory bra!

As many of you know, my dream (OK, possibly more of an obsession) with making the perfect wire-free bra began after a shock breast cancer diagnosis in 2006. As a...

Purchase of my favorite bras and tees

I love my new purchases! The bras fit perfectly. The sleep pants and long sleeve tee feel and look great! This is the brand you want to buy for your new favorite clothes.

Great quality but not the coverage I needed

I have been so pleased with the quality of the item and the sizing overall, but it’s not the full coverage I seem to need. When you’re at the point in your nursing journey of the “roll and tuck” (IYKYK), this may not be the entire cup your flat pancake is looking for. Every time I lean over too far, I find myself hastily trying to wrangle my deflated balloons back into their plastic-free home. I put up with it for awhile, I bought a bigger size, but I am now thinking it’s just not the season for these soggy pieces of cereal to find a home with the very good bra.

I chose not to upload a photo. No one needs that image seared into their mind. You’re welcome.

Hi Laura, thank you for your kind words about the quality and fit of The Very Good Nursing Bra, and for making us laugh a little! We appreciate your feedback on the coverage and understand how it may not be meeting your needs right now :-(. If you ever want to explore other styles or sizes as your body changes, we're here to help! Wishing you the best on your nursing journey and hope to see you back some time. Thank you

V for victory grey marle bra

This bra is skimpier and not as sturdy as is the last one I bought which was the wisteria bra which is even more skimpy

Hi Pamela, thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the fit wasn't quite what you expected. All of the V bras use the same pattern no matter which material, but this was an earlier production. Wisteria is a different style to the V bras and sometimes needs customers to size up, we do try and make this clear. We appreciate your input We also have our Facebook Buy Swap and Sell group if you cant wear them and would like to on-sell them? Feel free to reach out if you have any questions or need assistance!

Great Bras, Wonderful Customer Service

I have looked for truly synthetic free bras for years and this company makes the only ones that are truly natural and fit well once you get the right size. Unfortunately I ordered the wrong size at first, and because I live in the US the process of exchange was painstaking and slow. The customer service team was extremely helpful through the process and in helping me figure out my size and fit. I am very happy with the quality and fit of the bras and will definitely be ordering more for me and my daughter in the future. I am very impressed that this company and products exist, and that there are still alternative choices in the sea of plastic and polyester products that are proving to be very detrimental to our health and our planet.

Always love these products

Was super excited when the V for Victory Bra came out in peach - having a nude-tone bra I could wear under white clothes but in the V for Victory style, which I'd always loved in black, was huge. 10/10.
